Word For The Day, Thursday, February 5, 2009 - defalcate
dictionaries ad nauseum, internet | 5 February 2009 | secret garden

Posted on 02/05/2009 4:40:01 AM PST by secret garden



In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

defalcate \di-FAL-keyt\, verb
to steal or misuse money or property entrusted to one's care

Example sentence:
The stockbroker defalcated millions from investment clients.

Etymology:
c 1540, from Latin defalcere, from de- + falx/falcem "sickle, scythe".

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

it’s mindboggling. the error in their thinking is pointed out to them and still they persist and take umbrage at being directed to DU.

Conditions are ripe for a nationalist populist movement. That’s what you’re seeing there.

Well, we've already had a youth movement elect a charismatic leader.

I just don't think the can get the trains to run on time.

health. We the Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington, DC in
conjunction with some other relevant Investigation Agencies here in the United
states of America have recently been informed through our Global intelligence
monitoring network that you presently have a transaction going on with the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as regards to your over-due contract payment which
was fully endorsed in your favor accordingly.

In addition, also be informed that we recently had a meeting with the Executive
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in the person of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo
and Mr. Kingsley Agwor along with some of the top officials of the Ministry
regarding your case and they made us to understand that your file has been held
in abase depending on when you personally come for the claim. They also told us
that the only problem they are facing right now is that some unscrupulous
element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their
hard earned money by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central Bank
office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan C. Bailey from
OHIO has already contacted them and also presented to them all the necessary
documentations evidencing your claim purported to have been signed personally by
you prior to the release of your contract fund valued at about US$8,000,000.00
(Eight million united states dollars), but the Central Bank office did the wise
thing by insisting on hearing from you personally before the go ahead on wiring
your fund to the Bank informations which was forwarded to them by the above
named Lady so that was the main reason why they contacted us so as to assist
them in making the investigations.

They further informed us that we should warn our dear citizens who must have
been informed of the contract payment which was awarded to them from the Central
Bank of Nigeria, to be very careful prior to this irregularities so that they
don’t fall victim to this ugly circumstance. And should in case you are already
dealing with anybody or office claiming to be from the Central Bank of Nigeria,
